What You Need to know about Instant Coffee

There is some controversy over whether instant coffee
should be considered a true coffee even though it stems
from the same coffee bean as conventional coffee does. The
argument is that although it tastes similar to quality
coffee it is still not the same.

This coffee goes way back to 1906. It was actually
discovered by an English chemist who was residing in
Guatemala at the time. This gentleman most enjoyed his
coffee and happened to notice that on the spout of his
silver coffee pot there was a powdery film forming. This
was the beginning of the experimentation of the discovery
of instant coffee. It was officially discovered by this
chemist whose name was George C. Washington and he produced
the very first brand called Red E Coffee.

Now once again there may seem to be a little confusion as
to who really did invent this coffee or at least discover
it. Others say that in 1901, a Japanese American by the
name of Satori Kato was the one who invented this drink,
but it was true that George C Washington was the first to
market it in mass production. Years after that, Nescafe
came out with freeze-dried coffee.

There are two easy methods for making instant coffee. It
can be either freeze-drying or spray drying. So which makes
a better cup of this type of coffee? Many would argue that
freeze drying does but then like any other variation of
coffee its all going to come down to personal taste. One of
the supporting factors for freeze-drying being the better
of the two methods is that with spray drying the natural
oils of the coffee are adversely effected and more flavor
is lost. This is because of the high temperature that is
needed in the spray drying method. However many instant
coffee producers prefer this method to freeze-dried because
it is faster and in some ways more cost effective.

This form of coffee is often the choice to be used in many
recipes when it comes to baking especially. The taste it
affords when used in this method is comparable to brewed
coffee. The biggest advantage of using the instant here is
because it's quick and easy.

There are some individuals that believe they are experts
when it comes to instant coffee just like there are with
brewed coffee. One of the problems with this coffee is that
the ingredients that are being used are inferior quality
beans that don't meet requirement for any of the coveted
gourmet type coffees. Naturally, this per se is going to
change the taste. Avid coffee drinkers believe that if you
are using a good freeze dried instant , and your water is
boiling hot when you add it to the coffee, you are going to
enjoy a very good cup of coffee. Naturally, avid brew
coffee drinks would be the first to say there is just no
comparison.
